Taika is Married To Chelsea Winstanley

When Taika met Chelsea Winstanley, she was already the mother of a boy named Maia. The two met while they were working on a comedy film Boy. Chelsea, an award-winning producer, and director had endured the horrible sexual abuse and went through its aftermath. 

Although she had to insert a titanium rod in her leg, Chelsea challenged every obstacle and has risen above. 

Taika married Chelsea and shares, two daughters, with her. Like always, Taika seems to be at her side. As per Chelsea, he is the most loving husband and an amazing father to their three kids.

His Parents' Marital Life

Taika's conjugal life might seem picture-perfect to the world but his mother was less fortunate. His mom Robin Cohen, a European descent school teacher ended her marriage with Taika's dad a bit earlier. 

Taika was just a five-year-old naive kid when his parents divorced. After the separation, Robin had three jobs at a time to look after Taika and the expenses.

Taika once said that his late father was a gang member and was not so supportive of the family. He has joined the bike gang Satan's Slaves and was also the founding member of the gang. 

Furthermore, Taika had grown into a poor childhood. He describes his dad's relationship with his mother -the weirdest coupling ever.
